Boiling is when a liquid bubbles vigorously and continuously at high heat, and food is cooked within that liquid. The steady high temperature at the boiling point speeds up cooking. It's widely used for cooking pasta and legumes.
Where It's Used
“Salt the water and bring it to a boil, then add the pasta.”
